This is easy & quick to make on a week night. Serve it warm with something simple like grilled Italian sausage, fried pork chops or a grilled rib eye. Bring out the best olive oil you have for this recipe because it really makes a difference in the taste…
French Potato Salad
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs more or less of red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/3 cup Champagne vinegar
- 1/2 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
- 1 T Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sprig of basil, chopped
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until easily pierced with a fork
- Drain and then place in a large bowl and sprinkle with the vinegar, let it sit for a minute or two so the potatoes can absorb the vinegar
- Add the red and green onion and stir to combine
- Then add about 1/2 of the olive oil and mix thoroughly
- Add mustard and stir through
- Then add enough of the rest of the olive oil to make it moist
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and chopped basil

Nice pictures, very delicious recipe!
Fabulous! Yum, yum!
love potato salad with red potatoes! Have a similar recipe, but instead on basil I add tarragon – so yummy!
Cool potato salad. Haven’t tried making one before.. will try out your recipe tomorrow !!
You had me at ‘quick’. This sounds like a very good thing to have with leftover roast chicken…..
I’m gonna try this for sure. Got to find champagne vinegar though… never heard of it before. 🙂
You used my two favorite words, easy and peasy. I have been looking for something good and filling for my meatless Mondays and this looks perfect. Thanks.
It looks really good, Ms. W. Thank you.
Mrs. should like this, she is a lot French. I know it’s better than what I had for my lunch snack at our Kroger sample dish. It was ‘Family Style Potato Salad,’ yellowish in color with eggs.
Since she is from Graves, near Bordeaux, she might want to use red wine vinegar as that is what she uses. How about “Bordeaux Red Wine Vinegar?” She likes Champagne so that will probably be it.

I was lazy this week, and re-published an old “Q” post, on which you have already commented.

What absolutely lovely photos of a potato salad, I’ve decided I need to use the pretty pink pots that you use, what a great recipe.
